Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon tarragon
  • 1/8 cayenne
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup diced ham
  • 1 1/2 cups coarsely grated gruyere cheese

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350-degrees and butter a loaf pan. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, tarragon, and cayenne.
  • In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the eggs and then add the milk and olive oil. Whisk together.
  • Using a spatula, fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until mostly combined. It’s important not to overmix. Fold in the ham and grated cheese.
  • Transfer batter to the prepared loaf pan and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached.
  • Allow the bread to cool in the pan about 5 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool. Before taking the loaf out of the pan, run a knife along the edges to release the loaf. Allow the bread to cool about 30 minutes before serving.
